Settlement funds used to set up court-supervised account to take care of caregiver’s injured son.

… A 25-year-old caregiver was driving her car with her 9-year-old son.  As she pulled from a stop sign, another car failed to stop on the intersecting road, crashing into her car. The caregiver suffered moderate injuries and her son suffered a mild concussion.  After the negligent driver was sued, the case settled before a hearing.  The settlement of the son’s claim was approved by the court and his settlement funds placed in a special account until he reaches 18 years of age.
